Plant Disease and Insect Clinic Holiday Schedule

North Carolina State University, including the Plant Disease and Insect Clinic, will be closed the week of December 23–27, 2019. Please do not send samples that might arrive during this time period. We will close at 3 p.m. on Friday, December 20, and reopen on Monday, December 30. We are unsure of the status of our university mail service (including USPS shipments) on December 30 and 31. We will again be closed on New Year’s Day (Wednesday, January 1, 2020).

Samples arriving late during the week of December 16 may have to be held over until after the break. The date that samples can be received and still be analyzed and reported before the holiday depends on the nature of the problem and the assigned diagnostician. For more information, feel free to call us at 919-515-3619 (disease line), 919-515-9530 (insect line) or 919-513-3878 (turf diagnostics).

About Extension Plant Pathology

Plant Pathology at NCSU

The Department of Plant Pathology at North Carolina State University is composed of nearly thirty faculty that direct a diverse portfolio of programs with strengths in academic programs, research and extension. Collectively, these strengths not only serve our clientele and our science, but also provide a rich environment for graduate education and training that can be tailored to the specific career interests of the student, irrespective of whether they prefer training in the basic sciences or are preparing for a career in extension. We encourage you to explore this site and would be pleased to assist you in meeting your needs regarding Plant Pathology.

NC State University and N.C. A&T State University work in tandem, along with federal, state and local governments, to form a strategic partnership called N.C. Cooperative Extension, which staffs local offices in all 100 counties and with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
